Program Overview

After incubating the program in Denver, we’re expanding the Veterans in Residence program nationally to provide fully sponsored workspace to 10 tribes of 10 veterans across 10 cities every six months. Veterans and military spouses should apply to their nearest city. WeWork is also proud to announce our commitment to hiring 1500 veterans over the next five years, and will support member companies in hiring veterans as well. Additionally, any US military veteran or US military veteran-owned company with fewer than 10 employees will be eligible for partially sponsored space or a private office (up to 25% off) for their first 12 months as a WeWork member (offer available for new members only, some restrictions apply).

Sponsored Workspace

Veterans enjoy access to complimentary workspace for six months and the full WeWork member experience, from front-desk support to discounts on operational software in our Services Store.

Putting Our Heroes First

Roll Call

On Her Company, Savanna Sandals

"During my deployment in the Air National guard in Northern Africa, one of the main things I noticed was the pollution. Savanna Sandals are made from recycled materials from Africa as a direct result of what I saw in my deployment."

On Veterans in Residence

“As a veteran entrepreneur, it’s just such a smaller pool of people you can relate to on both levels. So when you go into a room full of people who understand what it’s like to wear the uniform, it gives everybody a sense of purpose and belonging. It gives me so much relief that the WeWork Veterans in Residence program is scaling around the country because my little brother—who’s also in the Air National guard—will be able to learn about this and be part of it.”

On His Company, Spark Mindset

“I go into companies and improve diversity and inclusion programs, also developing a virtual reality program for underserved high school students to teach them coding and life skills.”

On Veterans in Residence

“Workspace is at the core of this, but the most powerful part is that once a week we’ve all committed to get together. 10-2 every weds we talk and open up and we share what we’re struggling with and what we need.”

On His Consultancy, Victory 6

“The first unit I worked in was victory core, so Victory 6 was the name of the commander. When he spoke everyone listened. [Our] focus is on leadership and strategy development.”

On Veterans in Residence

“It’s like I step into that place and say, ‘Those are my people!’ We have the same background, experience, we have similar friends and networks, we’ve been to the same places around the world—we have the shared experience and culture and we’re each on our own process of discovery and learning new business skills.”

On His Company, TurtleWise

“After 22 years in the utilities business, I was able to discover my passion: helping people expand their networks, change their lives, and ultimately change the world.”

On Veterans in Residence

“Being a founder is a lonely position to be in, the buck stops here—you are trying to create something out of nothing. The most important part is being able to connect to the military ethos, team, mission and helping one another. You really miss it. I didn’t realize how much I missed it until I was part of the Veterans in Residence program. We are working to help each other grow our businesses.”
